That the horrors of fire were not

of fire upon observing the flames issuing
from the debris. The flames were soon
extinguished and the fremen then did
excellent work in rescuing the injured.

NAT. sheIIey,s New success.

The many friends of Harry Rowe Shelley,
 now organist at the Church of the Holy Spirit,
 New York city, will be pleased to learn that
 another of his compositions has met with
 success at the music teachers convention
 held last week at Indianapolis. Perhaps the
 most popular piece of Easter music published
 last spring was The Resurrection" by the
 same talented musician who now seems to be in fair way to supplement his fame as an organist by gaining a position among the ranks of the few successful American com, posers. The following is reprinted from the New York Tribune:
 INDIANAPOLIS, July z (SpeciaD The in. teresting musical features of the music teachers convention came to an end today with the last two concerts of the orchestra and recital of chamber music. Mr. Van Der Stucken's last concert, like the two that he gave as matinees, was made up of music the most of which is familiar in the East, but there were several interesting novelties that call for mention. One of these was the production of New York, or rather Brooklyn, musician, Harry Rowe Shelley. It was 6 bit of characteristic dance music called "Dance of Egyptian Maidens," an ex- cerpt from an opera that lies in the compos- CTS writing desk. It proved to be one of the most effective numbers of the concert, and MT. Arens, conductor of the Philharmonic
 society of Cleveland, promptly listed it for
 production in one of his concerts next win
 ter. Its orchestral color is more oriental
 than it's melody, which does not make use of
 the intervals that are characteristic of eastern
 music. Mir. Shelley is pupil of Dudley
 Buck, and his handling of tue clements of
 composition shows the frmness and command
 of routine peculiar to his master.

Hartford and New Haven Foot Guard

Hartford and New Haven Foot Guard.
 Yesterdays Hartford Courant says of the
 presentation to the New Haven Foot Guard
 last Saturday evening:
 A committee of the First company, Gov
 ernor's Foot Guard, went to New Haven Sat
 urday evening and presented to the Second
 company a handsomely framed picture of the
 Memorial Arch and bridge in this city. A
 brass plate on the frame bore the inscription,
 ''In memory of Monument day, New Haven
 June 17th, 1S87." The Second company did
 everything possible on the 17th for the en- tertainment of the Hartford company. They had provided an early lunch which the rail road delays made it impossible to serve, ant I in the evening, at the close of the parade | they furnished @ substantial supper whicf | was thoroughly appreciated. The picture O ] the Hartford arch was selected as thank-of fering, the idea being thus to link the soldiers | memorial in Hartford with that in New Ha l ven. The picture is bromide enlargement | of much admired photograph taken by MT T. Sedgwick Steele. Only two other copiei have been made, one of which was bought by General Hawley and presented to the Hart ford club and the other was made for thu Gatling Gun company.
 At special meeting of the Foot GuarG this evening the question of a new uniform will be considered. A special committe will be appointed to consider the subject O making a trip to Gettysburg in the event o1 the company being ordered to Philadelphi; next September. It would only add about days time and some $6 in expense.

Earl Sfmnnda, WILL

Judge Carpenter has handed down his de- cision in the construction of the will of Earl Simonds, who died at Windsor in 1877. The suit was brought by the widow and the two children, Clara H. and Albert D. The deci- sion sustains the position taken by Albert's counsel that the widow underholds the es- tate, valued at s13,0oo, subject to the super vieion of the Probate court, that she will have to give bonds for the custody of the estate and that she can only use for the sup port of herself and daughter as much of the estate as her previous mode of living might justify. After the cessation of the trustee ship of the widow the property is to be divid- ed between the son and the daughter.

PITCHFORKS AND AXES.
A Farmer Attacked by a Vicious Bull
 Mr. SEanIina 1essea of the Rolles farm

A Farmer Attacked by Vicious Bull.
 A MT. Staplins, lessee of the Bolles farm, just over the New London line in Waterford, had a narrow escape from serious injury by a vicious bull at the farm Friday evening and may consider himself fortunate that he got away without broken bones or fatal wounds. He went into lot to drive in his herd of COWS, when the bull attacked him and tum- bled him to the ground. Two sons-in-law of MT. Staplins heard his cries and went to his assistance, the one with pitchfork and the other with an axe. The pitchfork was not sufficient to subdue the animal, though it's tines were thrust into his flesh several times, and blow on the head with the axe was re- quired before the battle was ended. The bull was knocked down and when he recovered he was ready to get where he would not re- ceive another blow such as had been admin istered to him.

Dr. Erbert sn.vth. of Andover.

The Rev. Dr. Egbert Smyth of An- dover, who has been recently accused of "heresy," preached at the Rev. Dr. Parker's church, Hartford, Sunday. He is a stouter and older man than his brother, Dr. Newman Smyth. of this city. Owing to severe cold his voice did not fill the whole room. There was large audience for this season, including number from other congregations. Dr. Smyths text was John xii, 24-25. The lesson of the par able, he said, was not mere self-sacrifce; that is nowhere part of the teacher of scripture. Life, he said, is true transforma- tion and it is also renunoiation and our lives are given to us and made ours in order that we may make them Gods. Christ, he said, is lifted upon his cross in order that every man sooner or later may know that his sin and guilt. however great have not forfeited for him his welcome. Death is a portal which opens the way to life.

 Director H. c. Robinson, of Hartford, said yesterday regarding the above matter with special reference to it's bearing on the Hart ford shops of the road:
 ssSince I have been on the board of direc- tors, and that is ever since 1884, I have al- ways looked out for Hartford's interest and always intend to. Hartford interests shall not suffer any diminution if I can help it. The railroad company thinks highly of Hart ford, for the city has always exhibited a friendly spirit toward us in contradiction with that exhibited by New Haven, which has always been hostile. Of course cannot say what the matter of founding little city of our own will amount to, but it will prob ably be settled in 8 few weeks. One thing you can be sure of, nothing detrimental will be done to Hartford's interests" The Hartford Courant thinks the new vii lage for the purpose mentioned would be { good thing, and matter of regret for thi | city, and calls for nominations for nam for the new place,
